The formula for the volume of a sphere is given by:
V = (4/3) * π * r^3,
where V is the volume and r is the radius of the sphere.
Given that the diameter of the basketball is 9.2 inches, we can calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:
r = 9.2 / 2 = 4.6 inches.
Now we can plug in the values into the formula and calculate the volume:
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (4.6)^3
V ≈ 4.19 * 4.6 * 4.6 * 4.6
V ≈ 357.86 cubic inches.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the basketball is approximately 357.86 cubic inches.
